Welcome to Mike's Guide Service on Lake Vermilion!

If you're looking for a great fishing experience in Northeastern Minnesota, you've found the right guide for your venture! Fishing is my passion, and I love to share the experience with everyone. I guide exclusively on Lake Vermilion and specialize in walleyes but also enjoy finding the many other species Vermilion has to offer.

I have been fishing this awesome lake for 24 years. As a member of the Lake Vermilion Guides League, I have had the privilege of participating in their annual Take A Kid Fishing event, giving area kids a chance to get out on the lake and have a blast catching fish and learning something about this wonderful pastime. I will never get tired of seeing the excitement on a kid's face when he/she gets a fish on! It has also been an honor to guide for the league's annual Take A Vet Fishing day, which was started in 2014 to give recognition to the veterans of war who have served this country. I have participated in the City Glass Walleye Tournament for many years, placing in the top 7 in three of those years. .

Whether you are new to the great sport of fishing or an experienced angler, my goal as your fishing guide is to help you catch a lot of fish and create a very memorable experience to take with you! Phone: 218-666-6054 Email:mikesguideservice79@gmail.com

Fishing Thoughts: The two best times to fish is when it is rainin' and when it ain't. - Patrick F McManus

Good things come to those who bait.

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad. - A. K. Best

Oh, and if you don't get me on the phone right away, it's because I'm on the "other line!" ​
